Actually git-remote was done during a previous discussion on the
same subject, with a goal to make it possible to rewrite
git-clone (after giving the "where is the HEAD" logic to
git-remote, perhaps) in terms of git-init and git-remote.

So probably the next step would be to refactor some logic and
functionality out of git-clone, move them to git-remote, and
reimplement git-clone in terms of git-remote.  Implementation of
"--more" option would become much simpler (or, almost free)
after that is done.
